Hay dos a tres canales que han aparecido como ROI de sicilia y otro de napoles,pero son muy esporadicos,igual que el anterior CIAO.
RAI es,por el momento el unico.

Thank you for the help. Someone told me that Video Italia was broadcasting free to air off the T5 satellite. Can someone confirm this. Thanks.

Video Italia left T5 two weeks ago.

Thanks for the help guys,
I guess I'm out of luck, C band needs a big dish, was hoping to find something in Ku band with a smaller dish (1 meter or so) reception from Montreal. Does all C band programming require big dishes?
Thank you for your help!

If you are in Montreal, get TeleLatino, which is available
on Bell ExpressVu. This channel has both Spanish and Italian
programming. Their coverage of Serie A is even better than RAI's coverage. They show 3 games per week, while RAI
only shows 2 games. TLN sublicense the additional game from
PanAmerican Sports Network.

If anyones interested, from Skyreport...

______________
GlobeCast Adds Italian Content - GlobeCast, the Miami-based DTH company delivering international/ethnic content to viewers across North America, added Italian channel 102.5 Hit to its digital platform for foreign broadcasters on Telstar 5. The 102.5 Hit Channel is a 24-hour Italian multimedia network that expands the on-air presence of RTL 102.5, one of the country's leading radio networks.

I wounder what they mean by "multi media". This sounds like an another audio / music offering, like "Video Italia". A step in the right direction, but still not a reputable TV offering from a national broadcaster from Italy. Looks like Dish**** still has a stranglehold on RAI broadcasting in North America.

Galaxy 10R has Italian programming. At one time they had 6 channels.. Not sure how many are there Now but you can always check at
www.lyngsat.com and look under America and then scan through the satellites to see who carries what.
